: I got a catalog from a Computer Discount in Colarado, and it had a page 
: advertising the Spirit Technologies' "AX-S" Amiga 500 expansion system.
: This appeared to be a setup that allows the use of IBM/PC expansion cards
: via a bus/backplane and a device library.
: 
: the retail price was $199.00, and it was a Case, power supply, 7 slots,
: 4 drive bays and the library (which allows drivers to access the device,
: but Spirit has drivers for only a few devices, I guess)

Spirit Technology has an 800 number (433-7572).  They will be glad to send
you information about the AX-S, the price of which is _$995.00_ until
January 15, 1990 when it will go up $200.  There will also be a 1000 version
so this may be a viable option for 1000 owners.
